    This episode has my favourite opening sequence with Will sneaking in after curfew with great visual comedy from Will and the ending being perfect for the pre-credits scene, the music really summing up the hilarious sequence.

    Carlton's odd booklet and Will's lucky streak make the episode even more entertaining, with great lines from each including "Wow, you're lucky, that could have been an asteroid" and "why is Michael Jordan with that kid from Home Alone?" as an odd combination for Carlton.

    The ridiculous club tradition that the raffle is for no reason since the winner doesn't get the money anyway and Ashley beating Geoffrey in poker were both great plot turns and both Will's and Ashley's plots are entertaining throughout, combining to make one of the funniest episodes in season two.moreless

    • Hilary: You look great mother but that's not how you wear a halter. Vivian: It is when your breasts don't come with a receipt. Edit
    • Will: Hey, Aunt Viv! Uncle...Phil? Whoa, you got that mad look in your eyes. Lemme guess? You grabbed Geoffrey's underwear by mistake. Am I right? Philip: Will, why didn't you give that check to charity like I told you to? Will: What are you talkin' 'bout? I did. Philip: Don't stand there and lie to me. Will: I'm NOT lyin'! Philip: I just got back from the club, and I've never been so humiliated. I thought we had an agreement that that money was going to go where it was most needed. Now, you march upstairs and get me the check. Will: I can't. The money's gone. Vivian: Will, how could you have spent $1,000 already? Ramon: Wow, Will! You must be loaded! You spent a grand and had another grand to give to me for basketball camp?! I gotta raise your shoeshine rate. Philip: You gave the money to Ramon? Will: Well, yeah. You know, it's just a loan, 'til his sneaker endorsement comes through, you know, around 2010. Edit
    • (Philip and Vivian are debating going to the club) Philip: After what Will did last night, they are all going to be gossiping about us. Why put ourselves through that? Vivian: They won't be gossiping. Will gave the check back. Besides, people at our club aren't like that. I mean, no one cared about Mrs. Silverberg's divorce. Philip: I heard she's been seeing the golf pro. Vivian: I heard her husband caught them in the utility closet. Hilary: Did you know both of them were wearing nothing but cleats? Ashley: It was the tennis pro in the steam room, but the cleats part is right. (later at the country club) Philip: There must be some mistake. Mr. Firth: Oh sure, and Mrs. Silverberg was wearing cleats because she forgot her shower shoes. Edit
